Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 20 eggs (only the yolks)
- 350 g sugar
- 2 vanilla pods
- 450 ml vodka
Instructions
Preparation
- Put the yolks of 20 eggs and 350 g sugar in a heatproof bowl. Beat the sugar and eggs with a whisk until everything is well combined. Cut 2 vanilla pods lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the egg mixture. Finally, stir in 450 ml vodka.
Cooking
- Next, heat the advocaat in a bain-marie. This is to prevent it from curdling!
- Take a pan large enough to hang a bowl above it. Fill the pan with a layer of water and bring it to a boil. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water. The bowl is heated only by the steam. Keep stirring while heating.
- Remove the bowl from the pan and place it in a container with cold water. Cooling will allow the advocaat to cook further and thicken. Stir the advocaat for 4-5 minutes while it cools, then strain it through a fine sieve. This will give you a smooth, creamy advocaat.
To serve
- Spoon the advocaat into glasses and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Store the advocaat in a well-sealed bottle or jar in the refrigerator. It is good for about 2 weeks. You can also wonderfully use this homemade advocaat in desserts, such as in a parfait, or as filling for cream puffs. Be creative and give it a try!
